Maps & Digital Twin

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) support how the City of Cambridge manages information, delivers services, and plans for community needs. The City's GIS team collects, manages, analyzes, and shares location based data to support daily operations, long-term planning, and informed decision-making across City departments. Through maps, interactive applications, and open data, GIS helps residents and staff access information, improve service delivery, and stay informed.

While every effort is made to keep information accurate and up to date, maps and data may change after publication.

Digital Twin

The City has developed a Digital Twin, a new public web application that lets users explore an interactive 3D virtual model of the city. Digital Twins are connected to real-time data so updates are reflected quickly in the 3D model.

Users can view various data layers, including 3D buildings, bridges, and trees. A photorealistic overlay can also be turned on, enhancing the 3D look. Proposed development applications will be available as a 2D informational layer, and if available, a 3D model of the development as well.

By showing both current and proposed information in a 3D environment, the Digital Twin helps residents and staff better understand Cambridge today, and how it may change in the future. 

Visit the Digital Twin page for more information and to explore the application.

Open data 

GIS data is also available through our Open Data Catalogue.
